If Labour do get smashed, Corbyn is the true villain of the piece. His sticking around like a bad smell when it’s been clear for years and years the wider electorate wanted nothing to do with him will have facilitated Tory domination & whatever no-holds-barred Brexit comes to pass as a result. Shame on him.

Bollocks! They won loads of gains in 2017.

I think his most costly mistake is not standing up to the pro-remainers in the Labour Party. He should’ve been much more firm in backing Lexit. The focus should’ve always been in minimising the damage of Brexit.

Never in modern history has an opposition party faced a government as inept and riddled with infighting as this Conservative government. And never in modern history has such a farcical, timid attempt been made to displace it. History will show this to have been the lamest-duck Labour Party in the history of the UK to have made such an absolute pigs ear fuck up of combatting this Conservative government.

1997 Tony Blair would have lost this election tonight. There is nobody in the current Labour party that would have won.

I'm fortunate enough that I'll probably end up a few quid a month better off in my pay packet in the medium term under the Tories, as I have been over the last few years. Long term who knows.

 

I'm deeply concerned about the wider affects on society but on a personal level I'm petrified of what happens to the NHS. I cost them £8k+ a year in medication alone for a chronic, lifelong disease. If it goes down the route we fear, opening up the market to the US and raising the price of medicines, then what happens? Does it stop? Do I have to have major surgery with no guarantee that'll be effective or cure my illness? Do I take out expensive private medical insurance? Would insurance even cover an existing condition? I know it's scare mongering but it's feasible and it's scary.
